Quote from BlondeTSC007 :
Quick question for you all! I remember you all were freezing the Kraft sandwich cheese back when that $3 coupon was out for it.. does it freeze well or taste funny after defrosted? Did you just move it from freezer to fridge and let it thaw that way?
I froze a bunch and then when I get low I move one to the fridge to thaw -- but they've become super crumbly, like really hard to cut a slice from. Prettymuch only good for grating.

Anyone else experience this?

Question - someone sent me a "thank you" Target Gift Card and I have no idea how much it's for. I remember seeing a link to find out the balance - does anyone have that handy? I'll be sure to bookmark it this time. Embarass2

I do the same with shreds and bricks. I've not frozen the slices though. The others thaw just fine in the fridge! I'm now stocking up at WM on more shreds...LOL!

Quote from schnauzermomma :

I'd really like to go back and have a run with alot of manu q's, all legit, that would still leave me with a small oop. Any ideas?
Do you have the $5/3 Target Q? How about a run of just 3 Band-Aids, or Carefree or Buddies Bars, or a combo of them all.

Do you have the 75/2 Kraft Dressings? They are $1.50 at my store so that's cheap OOP.

Little Debbies are still $1, and there is the 75 IPQ.

Also Planters nuts are $3 in the bulk/value, and $3 IPQ.

Print the $2 any Kashi, the bars and cookies are on sale for $2.50 - $2.75 right now.

Those are some of the things I get when I just go to use one of my $5/3 TQs.

Okay, I know this is the Target chit chat thread, but I am a little perturbed right now Annoyed

I went to a local Grocery Store, and they have given me a hard time today Whee

They had something on sale with no limit for $1.89 and I had $1.00 off coupons, which brought the item down to 89 cents each. I had 24 coupons, but only found 10 each of the flavors I wanted, so I bought 10 of these. I had an earlier confrontation with a twit evening manager, about of all things "sugar" and how many you can purchase at one time laugh out loud for each transaction.

Here is their store policy, 2 sugars at $2.29 each, if you buy a third it rings up at a higher price. So of course, I go thru the self-check out lane, buy six, and check out myself 3 times. I'm not stupid, that is 3 separate transactions, and I have other things with each transaction. So tonight this twit calls me on it, and says, it's 2 sugars per day, per person. And I say, show me this in your Store Policy - and he shows me the shelf tag, and it says 2 Sugars at $2.29, and if you buy a third, it's the higher price. I say that says nothing about 2 per person, per day - pffttt you are wrong. These are separate transactions, I'm correct. I had already rung this up, not much he could do. Be aware that I've been doing this for years at this store, as well as in the Express Lane, they have done this for me as well, separating the Sugars this way, and ringing them up this way for me for years as well. It's not a new thing, I've been doing, sigh.

So home I go, because my $1.00 coupons are there, and this store is so close to me, I'm back in a flash for this other item; cause this twit has perturbed me, so I'm gonna buy this item, and go thru the self-check out again.

So I ring them all up, put thru my coupons; and some other front end person, when I'm finished says OMG, you can't use so many coupons like that. I say why not Confused each coupon says one coupon per purchase on product, and that is what I did. So this twit brain tells me, I have taken too much product, and I'm not leaving enough for other customers. I said wrong, your shelves are full of product of various flavors, I see no problem for any other customer. Besides that you are reimbursed for every coupon. She said but you only paid 89 CENTS, you can't do that. I said yes, I can, you GET reimbursed, don't you get it Doh

So I think they are gonna try and ban me from this store, cause she saw more coupons in my purse, and said WHERE did you get those ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! I calmly said, I get them from various resources, which are basically none of your business, and they are legitimate, and are for my use. She said no store should be accepting those in multiples like this. I said but all stores do, what is the problem Rofl2

So here I am venting, because two twits don't get the concept that coupons are put out for our use, whether it be multiples or not.

Sighhhhh........I came home, looked up this stores website, and wrote to the owner, of which I know I'll get a reply, as I did one other time when I wrote about something. But I'd really like to know their policy on all of this.

Thanks for reading, it was nice to vent laugh out loud I feel like I was at Target, but I know I was not Big Grin

I hear ya. Similar issue at my grocery store tonight with bogo off lanterns. They are running a bogo special on them. I was going to use the bogo printable to make them free. It's mfq and store special combined, did it yesterday no prob. Got totally denied. Annoyed.

Go to KM. The b*ch wouldn't take my 5/20 toy coupon as she says it's only for incredible hulk. I tell her to take off the big toy. Then she starts reading my hot wheels peelies and makes me give her back my bag so she can inspect everything in it. she just keeps staring at the damn peelie and I tell her it scans fine, just scan it, as I'm watching time tick by and my target dreams are now shattered. With the line building, she finally scans it and voila it goes through. Imagine that. She wasn't even nice about it. She kept holding the coupons like they were going to burn her hands.

What are you guys buying with the Hotwheels/Barbie peelies? It does not matter which store, Kmart, Walmart, or Target. My friend works stock at the grocery store and peelied me alot of them and do not know what to use them on.
fishing poles, tackle boxes, sunglasses, jump ropes....

Those that have used these at stores other than T, do they beep if the items not over $5?

I have frozen the Kraft singles, shredded cheese, string cheese, and the blocks of chesse, and they are all fine afterwards. I jut put it in the fridge for a day to defrost. I wasn't too sure how the singles would be, but they are fine once defrosted.
